Reverse camera or Sensor ?

Which sensor is this trrk? Any brand and what's the minimum distance? Max distane is not as important as min.

The system is from RD. That would be Rajat Deep Overseas Pvt Ltd. Though not specifically mentioned, the manual says that distance less than 0.3 metres is not displayed. So I assume a minimum of 0.3 metres.

Personally I feel its otherwise, in Indian condition. With Camera I will have to keep looking at the view while reversing. While in case of sensors I can adjust looking at ORVM, RVM etc and take the assistance from voice alerts.

I guess purely personal

Camera is better than the sensors, sensors make noise and irritates while parking as soon as it finds some obstruction within the limited range.

I just got a call from dealer of RD from Bangalore. He says it cost 3200 for rev camera alone with one year guaranty. He says it is equipped with night vision also. What do you guys say?

@ srikant, if its only the camera you are going for, my delhi exp tells me you can get almost 250-350 bucks off 3200 price you have quoted. tell shopkeeper a friend got it for a certain price. Surely gonna work

Hello,
The dealer has offered some free accessories, for my new Altis G, including a RedSoul 4-senser reverse parking system with digital (distance) display. According to him this will be fitted on to the left of the dashboard.

My questions are :
1) Is RedSoul a good brand?
2) Does it make sense to go for a 6" DVD display version with camera? - costs ~18K according to him. Or is this something that SUV/MUVs only will need? I do not intend to play DVDs while driving.

Thanks for the help (Hope I am posting at the right place)

Cheers,
Ajith
